Media & Commentary

Andrew Boast

Andrew supports the conveyancing market with his years of conveyancing experience. His top media support includes:

  • March 2020 - Coronavirus: Advised the Telegraph readers on: How to buy a home during the Coronavirus.
  • August 2016 - Help to Buy: Andrew uncovered exclusions within the Government's Help to Buy ISA scheme that affected over 500,000 first-time buyers, and he worked successfully with Katie Morley at the Telegraph to bring them to the attention of the wider public. His findings led all the scheme's main stakeholders, from the government to mortgage lenders, to reassess its terms and conditions and provide much-needed clarification to first-time buyers. They also helped deploy the Government's new Lifetime ISA (LISA). You can read the full story here - How we uncovered the truth behind the Help to Buy ISA

As a conveyancing commentator, Andrew has been invited to speak on the BBC (both television and radio), London Live, and Tip TV, and has been widely quoted in most of the mainstream press. He continues to actively support the drive for home ownership.

Andrew also works with Royal Holloway, University of London, to mentor students who wish to become entrepreneurs: most recently, his support helped a student set up a sustainable fashion company.

STORY

"When I purchased my first home in 2001 I was 21. I was only able to buy because I had the help from my Mum and Dad - being so young I couldn’t have afforded to buy on my own. At the time I was working in the solicitor's firm that was handling my conveyancing and although I was just 2 doors away from my solicitor, I was still having migraines because of the stress - moving home is really scary. Was the seller going to pull out? When was I going to complete? What is a leasehold flat? - all the things I now understand, but to me back then it was very daunting. I understand that if I felt like that and I worked very close to my solicitor, then I can only imagine what it feels like for everyone else.

"I’ll never forget the ecstatic feeling when I collected my keys. My friend and I dropped off my 1 box of stuff at the flat and then went to the pub to celebrate. I remember waking up lying in the middle of the living room floor cuddling my for sale sign.

"SAM Conveyancing is here to help you buy a home; our expert team of friendly, proactive professional conveyancing solicitors and surveyors are at your disposal. We have the know-how and professional expertise to give you the support you need at a time when you need it the most.
